Hector Berlioz and his Vesuvius: an analysis of historical evidence from an epileptological perspective.

abstract：:Glaucoma is an age-related neurodegenerative disease that begins at the onset of aging. In this disease, there is an involvement of the immune system and therefore of the microglia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the microglial activation using a mouse model of ocular hypertension (OHT) at the onset of aging...
